Can't Sleep
by: EJ

Its hard to sleep,

With lots on your mind,

There are many things troubling me,

The current friendships I have,

Relationships with my brothers,

Getting freaked out about school,

Trying my hardest at soccer practice,

I just can't sleep,

But I'm still tired,

But my mind still races,

Maybe its because,

I'm falling deeper into my hole of depression,

I proved it to myself,

When I cut myself,

Although its only happened once before,

I tried to find something else to do,

But the thought finally got to me,

After all theres not much to do,

In the early hours of the morning,

I wish I knew how to,

Transfer my thoughts into words,

So I'll actually know what to say,

The next time I try to have a serious talk,

Right now all I know is I can't sleep,

But nowI'm going to go and try though.
